List of features/ differences b/n 2k5,2k8, 2k8R2 for DBA

  • please post the difference/new features/comparisions between SQL SERVER 2005,2008 and SQL SERVER 2008 R2. (3) editions for the SQLDBA

  • May I suggest a google/bing search. There's a list of new features for each version in the Books Online on MSDN.

    For example, the 2008 What's new is here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb500435%28SQL.100%29.aspx

  • This will get you started, it is a list of all versions with a link to the right for each flavor. As Gail mentioned, a good Google search is best.

    Are there any particular feature sets or areas that you would like to compare in specific? Or are you looking for a complete list?
